Music, Fun and Friends!

Whether you are seeking a band to join, wishing to book an engagement or are just browsing the Internet, we welcome you to the Southern Winds Concert Band website!

THE BAND

Established in 2008, the band is a group of adult musicians (age 45+) from a variety of backgrounds. We are drawn together by a love of music.

As Plato said, “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.”

OUR PERFORMANCES

We perform at a variety of venues – churches, retirement homes, schools, and more.

Our concerts contain pieces in a wide range of musical styles. Our repertoire includes traditional band music, light classics, Broadway, movie themes and other pop music. We try to tailor our program to the particular audience.

WE NEED YOU!

Our band director, Gary Gaston, extends a personal invitation to everyone who plays or played a band instrument to join us. New members are always welcome and no audition is necessary.

Our skill levels vary from hotshot semi-professionals to out-of-practice amateurs. Even if you have not played since high school, you can still say “I’m in the Band!
